We Can’t Say It Loudly Enough: #thxBirthControl

Today we’re joining with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy to say, “Thanks, birth control!” The celebration is happening largely through social media using the hashtag #thxbirthcontrol. (Check out the tag on Twitter and Facebook!)

It’s time for us to reset the conversation. Birth control isn’t contentious or controversial. It’s great!

Every one of us has goals. For young people, those include college, career, relationships, travel, and having fun. For our state, it’s making sure young people are college and career ready as they progress through adolescence. For our organization, it’s making sure that young people can save starting a family until they’re ready. All of us are making steady progress toward those goals. And, we’re doing it because of birth control. Let’s give it the thanks it deserves.
